Conferrence Room
Presidential Palace
Toledo, Coronado
President Juarez's reaction to Engellex's attack on Montelimar was not quite what his advisors who were gathered in the room had predicted. Instead of being concerned, he was almost happy about the turn of events. When asked the reason why, Juarez replies with a big smile.
"Engellex has just done what we have only dreamed about, and in such a manner and timing that it is almost like they were fulfilling our wish list and given us the opportunity to expand socialism further into Gallia. Though the attack by Solaren was expected and the EDF was ready for it, this attack on Montelimar was not and will not only force the alliance to fight on two fronts but also exert a great deal more effort to stabilize the situation, and all the while Coronado and the RDTO will be free to do as it pleases in Solaren. Ironically, though both Engellex and the EDF would not want to expand their war on Coronado, the EDF will likely thank us for helping to bring down Urban and his lackies. In the end, both the EDF and Engellex will be weakened and we will be sitting pretty as we will make gains without exerting the proportional effort. I am almost tempted to send Queen Charlotte a thank you card."
Looking directly at Defence Minister Carlos Mendez.
"Compañero Mendez, I order the armed forces on full alert, not just those of the eastern district, I want all districts, including the reserves. I want air defence systems at full alert as well as ground forces, especially those along the borders, with naval forces to locate and target Solaren vessels wherever they is found, but engage only upon the receiving of the go code. We have not changed our plans in respect to Urban, just expanded the scope, but when we act, I do not want to find we too are under attack without being able to respond."
"Compañeros, you have your orders. Make it so."
